Abstract

A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for recognizing voice commands for manipulating data on the Internet. Data is provided on a website. Voice signals are received from a user who is accessing the website, which are interpreted to determine navigation commands. Selected data of the website is output based on the navigation commands. In one embodiment of the present invention, the data includes a voice-activated application. The user may be allowed to access the website from either a computer or a telephone, or both. A language may be determined from the voice signals and the voice signals interpreted in the language being spoken by the user.

 providing data on a website on the Internet; 
 receiving voice signals from a user accessing the website; 
 establishing an identity of the user through at least two voice authentication algorithms; 
 interpreting the voice signals of the user for determining navigation commands; 
 outputting selected data of the website based on the navigation commands; and 
 determining a language from the voice signals. 
 
     
     
       2. A method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the data includes a voice-activated application, the navigation commands controlling execution of the application. 
     
     
       3. A method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising comparing the identity to a data base of persons cleared for access to the data; and
 allowing the user to access the data if the user in included in the database.
